You're right, Level. Charleston is the big gun, but there isn't an easy out in that lineup. The Cubs' pitching isn't much, though; even Paige is inconsistent. You hear the name "Satchel Paige," and you think he's going to be dominant. Satch is only 20 here, so he's like a lot of talented young pitchers. The perfect situation for him would be a team where he isn't already the #1 starter, but on the Cubs, he is.
In my universe, Babe Ruth has a run going like Oscar does; I'd have to check how many Ruth has by now. Pat has 2 himself. As far as real life goes, lots of guys win lots of Silver Sluggers in a row. Bonds has won 7 MVPs and the last 4 in a row.
